Answer:

48 feet

Explanation:

So first find the amount of fence they would need in terms of x, which would be (x - 2) + (3x - 1) + (5x + 8) + (3x - 1) + (x - 2). Then, you know these add up to 106 so you get the equation:


x-2+3x-1+5x+8+3x-1+x-2 = 106

Now, you just have to solve.

First, combine like terms


13x + 2 = 106

Then, subtract 2 from both sides


13x = 104

Next, divide both sides by 13.


x = 8

The last step is to find the length of 5x + 8 by substituting x = 8 in


5*8+8=40+8=48
